The public is invited to attend the reception to meet the artists and enjoy refreshments.
Layerists create art by means of an additive-subtractive process in which the layer is considered a formal component of the artwork and is invested with a metaphorical significance. The layering technique is an allusion to processes in nature, such as sedimentation, erosion, reflection and refraction of light and recurrent cycles of birth, death and rebirth. Of particular interest to these artists are the theories that suggest an elemental unity of time and space.
Layering is not a style, nor is it uniform in any way. Though essentially diverse in media and manner, layerists share an attitude toward artmaking that is apparent in an exhibition of their work.
The gallery hours are Monday-Friday, 8 am-8 pm; Saturday, 8 am-5 pm; closed on Sunday. For more information, please call 740.366.9369.
